Why do "left-wing" influencers and politicians absolutely REFUSE to do even the slightest bit of research into trans people? Especially the ones who regularly debate rightoids, who are guaranteed to bring it up every single conversation without exception, you'd think they would want to be prepared for that, but they never are. They just concede to their nonsense and then go on to parrot fascist narratives about trans people as if they're fact. Especially frustrating when it's the type of essay or debate Youtuber who normally does tons of research into whatever they're discussing, but completely drops the ball when it comes to trans people.
Why? Why are they allergic to researching this topic? Why do they trust the word of perpetual liars and bigots on this one specific topic? It's so utterly baffling. Are they being paid to delegitimize the trans movement? I'd expect this kind of thing from liberals, but are 99% of "leftists" really so devoid of morals that they'd participate in such corruption? I can't think of any other explanatoon that explains how widespread this is.

>Why do "left-wing" influencers and politicians absolutely REFUSE to do even the slightest bit of research into trans people? Especially the ones who regularly debate rightoids

Who exactly are you talking about? It is very likely you are going off on some debate bros that don't even consider themselves to be leftists in the first place.

>I hope you don't think Gavin Newsom is left-wing.
Obviously not, he's a far-right nutjob who ran as a Democrat because he lives in California. When I mentioned politicians I was mostly thinking of my own country, which isn't the USA. Still, I often hear talk of new blood Democrats being hyped up as "progressive" while seeming to behave the way I described, with Mamdani being a notable exception.
>>7994
>It is very likely you are going off on some debate bros that don't even consider themselves to be leftists in the first place.
I would say people like Destiny and Soypill consider themselves leftists, though the former is arguably a liberal. And then you have mainstream personalities like John Oliver who do seem to actually do the research, only to interpret it in the most bad faith manner possible, then say things like "it's perfectly reasonable to continue treating transgenders as second class citizens until the evidence is compelling enough to convince fascists otherwise".

>>7999
Where did John Oliver say that? Post the video and timestamp.

>>7999
>I would say people like Destiny and Soypill consider themselves leftists, though the former is arguably a liberal

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. So you are getting mad about a bunch of nobodies and already are walking back on this.

>I would say
Destiny explicitly is not a leftist and he isn't even pro-trans. He wrote a fucking manifesto where he opposed universal healthcare that encompasses healthcare for trans people, like this guy is on the far right on trans issues compared to even centrist and liberal Americans who support tacitly universal healthcare. What the actual fuck are you talking about?

>'99%' of leftists
My ass, don't go around calling others bad faith when you are writing such disingenous drivel. Now delete your stupid thread or else I am reporting it for being isg content and having it forcibly merged with the isg thread on /leftypol/ by the mods immediately.

Never took a social science course in your life, I take it?
Your claim that the social construction of (social) facts does not have social consequences falls at the first hurdle in that social facts are exactly only real in their (social) consequence. To put it in another way: women are not women because of any (sub)set of signifiers, but are women because of their treatment based on those signifiers.

If you struggle with this, I recommend re-reading Theses on Feuerbach until lightning strikes.

Both of these are meaningful, but I really fucking wish people would talk more about the first one instead of always arguing for trans rights from the perspective that all the fascist narratives are true.

>This caused a giant argument because the rest of the muppets believed that continuing was what Kermit would have wanted, it go so heated that Gonzo bludgeoned Pepe the Prawn over the head with a Cinder-block which Killed him instantly, this caused everyone else to run out of the studio, Gonzo was later arrested and sentenced to life in prison.
>In March the first episode of the Muppet Show aired without Kermit and it was met with controversy and bad reviews because Robin made several rookie mistakes.
>In April Link Hogthrob was kicked out of the Muppets for pushing conspiracy theories about Kermit’s death and Rizzo the Rat died of an Overdose, later Dr. Honeydew was arrested for Racketeering.
>On May 12 what became known as the “Muppet Studio Massacre” took place in which Miss Piggy who was jealous that she wasn’t chosen to become the producer walked into the meeting room of the Muppet Studio with a Mossberg 500 and opened fire shooting Robin the Frog, Skooter, Fozzie Bear, Dr. Teeth, and Bean Bunny until she was disarmed by Animal. Fozzie was the only survivor to have been directly shot but he revived permanent damage.

Recommend good yaoi for me
Picrel is Warehouse which is actually korean, not japanese, but I think manhwa is close enough to manga
Doesn't have to be explicit, can be full of yearning as well.

Secret XXX was a great mix of funny, sexy, and heartfelt

Seven Days is a classic Yaoi story with good characters and a neat premise.

File: 1775339379420.png (3.3 MB, 2732x2048, VKP_b_hangout.png)

Is there even a BL anime taking place in a fantasy-world setting? ( or any other setting which is not basically regular romance eg high school )

I feel like most of the yaoi present just aims to appeal to the mostly female urge which is just pure sexual action between two males, yet we do not usually see anything more in content.
Also, notice how men are drawn as big figures in most yaois, which completely looks unrealistic when compared to how a female is drawn in an anime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media_age_verification_laws_in_the_United_States

Pretty soon, only Android, iOS/mac OS, and Microslop will be legal. See map. Those are the states that passed laws or are proposing them to require age verification at the OS level. FreeBSD, Gentoo and Linux From Scratch will be illegal soon.

>>33053
From the map and Wiki article, Michigan and Wisconsin are considering banning VPNs (use custom proxies in Python for full-tunnel control and X25519, Poly1305, ChaCha20 and Kyber for cryptographic post-quantum protection, which is high maintenance but only do this if you absolutely know what you're doing because you can easily fuck something up).

>Never going to happen to Linux. There will be forks

if it happens at the kernel level then someone will have to fork the linux kernel and whatever they call that will no longer be linux

personally i kind of hope that will happen, i hate how linux-centric the FOSS world has become and how the word linux has become sort of synonymous with free software when it's really just one project among many others. decades of obnoxious linux evangelism have gotten us to this point and i think it would be pretty hilarious and great if linus torvalds destroys the reputation of his own project by implementing kernel level age verification or merging ai-generated code into the upstream kernel and i feel like it's only a matter of time before either of those things happen and linux finally gets taken down a peg or two and stops being the flagship FOSS operating system that it never should have been.

Groundbreaking OSINT investigation shows how three decisions by individuals with undisclosed financial interests permanently altered the identity infrastructure of every major GNU/Linux distribution running systemd
https://isoc-sig.freifunk.net/systemd/systemd%20birthDate%20Merge_%20Corporate%20Filings%20&%20Governance%20Failure%20-%20TBOTE%20Project.html
>On March 18, 2026, a first-time contributor submitted a pull request adding a birthDate field to systemd's user record schema. A Microsoft employee merged it against 37 thumbs-down and 1 thumbs-up. The community submitted a revert. Lennart Poettering - who had incorporated a commercial Linux startup called Amutable seven months earlier - closed the revert without merging and locked the discussion. The entire sequence took 48 hours.
>This investigation pulled Amutable's founding documents from the German Handelsregister. The corporate filings show three equal shareholders, no outside investors, and self-dealing exemptions that let any founder sign contracts between the company and their own personal entities. All three founders were employed at Microsoft when they signed the founding deed. A hidden shareholders' agreement - referenced three times in the Articles of Association but never filed publicly - governs economic rights, IP assignment, and vesting terms the public cannot see.
>Three decisions put the birthDate field into systemd. Each was made by someone with a direct financial interest in the outcome. No one disclosed those interests. systemd has no conflict-of-interest policy, no steering committee, no community veto, and no disclosure requirements. The project that boots every major Linux distribution has less formal governance than a typical mid-size open source project.

>Emilia Clarke was at a huge disadvantage since she was trained for stage acting, not screen acting
Fucking nonsense excuse, some of the best film actors in history began as stage actors. Stage acting is in fact what most modern actors lack.
>When you're like 100 feet away from the audience you have to really exaggerate your acting
No, you don't. That is today's modern take on stage acting and is why most stage plays I've seen in the past decades are fucking trash.
>That's the reason for everything she did being so over-the-top.
The Camera is right there, she's performing on a greenscreen or on a set a few feet away from the crew and director, which would be equivalent to small-stage. To be fair, even if she didn't realize this, the Director's role is literally to stop and correct her and make sure the take goes well, so she's not entirely to blame.
>She also had two brain aneurysms near the start of the show
Ah, I actually did not know that, in which case that at least explains the acting, even if it doesn't make it good.

Kit Harrington is the same as Emilia - modern "stage training" except he doesn't have her excuse of the aneurysms and what not.

I'm not being mean to her, she's probably a nice girl and probably tried her best, but her acting was still over the top.

>That is today's modern take on stage acting and is why most stage plays I've seen in the past decades are fucking trash
And that's the kind she was trained in…
>some of the best film actors in history began as stage actors
Yes and they also learned how to act for the screen.
>Fucking nonsense excuse
No it isn't, when your muscle memory is a certain way you have to train yourself to do it differently.
>she's performing on a greenscreen or on a set a few feet away from the crew and director, which would be equivalent to small-stage
Idk what you mean by this, what theater stage has audience members sitting as close as a camera gets in a closeup?
> the Director's role is literally to stop and correct her
Correct. It's also something where if it's a persistent problem the production should hire an acting coach to help fix it. That doesn't change the nature of what she was doing wrong thoughever.

>that at least explains the acting
Probably she was too busy getting medical attention and recovery to get coaching needed to fix the issue.

>when your muscle memory is a certain way you have to train yourself to do it differently.
Yes and no. For example when Diving you train to breath with the mouth and not push air out through your nose, and unless you've got some problems in reigning yourself in, you can do this by merely staying conscious of the fact and proceeding carefully. The same can apply to acting, especially when she has a director there who should be reminding her of things. That being said, as you mentioned with her aneurysms and what-not, it's excusable in this case.
>what theater stage has audience members sitting as close as a camera gets in a closeup?
There is Small and Big Stage performances. Small Stage is when audiences are often right up close and the performance area is (obviously) smaller and up-close. I've been to a few in my time.
>He has the opposite problem if anything
I suppose in some way yes, though proper facial expression is also a problem I've seen in modern stage performances, either over or under acting a role/scene/character.

Watched A Knight of the Seven Kingdom yesterday. I had little interest in any GOT related TV since halfway through season 6, but decided to check this one out due to positive word of mouth.
It has almost none of the grimness and politicking that were the staple of the original series, the tone I would describe as a slightly dark comedy, with dramatic elements sprinkled on. The protagonist is a dim witted impoverished hedge knight, the entirety of first season covers a single tourney spanning couple days. The sets are composed out of a single jousting arena, a castle hall, a and a tent town around it. No dragons here, nor epic battles. It does have my absolutely favorite fight between knights in all of cinema thought. Like I am no expert on medieval combat, but it does look exactly how I imagined a combat between two men clad head to toe in iron would look like. Slugfest where both opponents are accumulating cuts and punctures and fractures, until they cant stand anymore.
Only 6 episodes, each little over 30 minutes, the whole thing could have been a long movie. Its really good, go watch it.

>>47472
the show is based on 3 short stories, this first season was the first one, and the second one is imo the best, so the next season should be even better

>dim witted
while definitely a bit slow, the man nonetheless has the "commoner wisdom" aplenty, and a decency that clearly lacks in the upper classes, which makes him very sympathetic. Only a commoner like him that learned chivalry from a jaded hedge knight can both recognize the story of lords and knights being honorable as obviously false, and still buy into it by applying chivalric principles himself

I also like that you see why the baratheon rebellion was successful: nobody really likes the targaryen, they're still perceived as foreign invaders with regularly cruel crazy lunatics in power, and without the actual dragons to enforce their rule they're very reliant on the big regional power lords which have plenty of rivalries among themselves.
The second season will expand a bit on the latest targaryen civil war where ser arlan lost his nephew (leading to him taking dunk as a squire as replacement and becoming a hedge knight out of grief), while still being grounded in the day to day of dunk

French foreign legion is hiring. Anyone from any country as long as you pass the fitness test. After your service you get that sweet EU citizenship, too.

Not mercenary work, but it's possible to volunteer as a park ranger in Africa as a foreigner. I briefly reached out to someone who did this online, but never really followed up because of changing interests. LinkedIn is a great resource for finding people with interesting jobs to reach out to.

Regardless, from what I've gathered, foreigners in legit units are never armed but attach to teams of locals that are. You get to live in the bush with them and do all the other park ranger stuff though. Seems interesting for someone who's physically fit and looking for adventure and I suppose that's the one of the closet things you'd get to being an ethical "mercenary". But I've gleaned from reading online that despite receiving paramilitary training, those aspiring should view themselves more as stewards of nature than SF. Warriors in a garden.

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

Lab workers and technicians have always lived in a type of grey area between white collar and blue collar work after all and I hope this will somewhat immunize me.

I lied, I didn't stop reading this time because I'm on a mission
It aint over til the conclusion's been struck

I ended up on these more specified wikis, reconnecting to the finsexual advice (was it you that gave it in a thread some time ago?)

Went to these:
https://lgbtqia.fandom.com
https://lgbtqia.wiki
Here they're using three different terms for apparently the same concept:
gynesexual, femsexual and more rarely finsexual
https://lgbtqia.fandom.com/wiki/Gynesexual / https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Femsexual / https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Finsexual
Questions arise:
  1. Which systems decide which terms get used over others? Some of the pages redirect the terms they deprioritize to their preferred term.
  2. Femsexual and Finsexual appear under the category "Fia/Fin Attraction", here defined as " attraction to: women, women-aligned genders (fiaspec), woman-related genders, feminine-aligned genders (fingenders), or femininity (presentation)". It is itself described as a subcategory of "Gia/Gin Attraction", here defined as "attraction to specific giaspec (gender and gender presentation) identities". Thus, since Gia/Gin (a particular system?) has subbranches for non-binary genders spectrums, here called neusexual and referenced in tandem with femsexual, I guess this is a pairing solution that will solve the question.

Anyone got any input on this?

>>8008
I don't know but if you want conversation I will ask you to never use gynesexual (you don't want currently at least) for yourself since I like to use androsexual for myself in the sense of attraction to men (cis or not) and not attraction to masculinity and so both definitions collide
If you want a system I would prioritise words that are correctly formed with classical roots over ill-formed ones and specially over ones formed with english roots
Maybe you could make up a word and say gynaikeiosexual? (γυναικειος means feminine). I don't really understand the difference between androgyny, agender, neutrois and all that but I would recommend you to say "neutrosexual" rather than "neusexual" since it's better formed and is more transparent

uygha just say you're straight. You like cis women, passing trans women, and non-passing trans men. So straight.

I recently discovered "basket of guts"
https://basketsofguts.thecomicseries.com/comics/1#content-start
A story about a lich that comes out of his crypt for world domination and find the world evolved and then quickly end on the run from a "modern" state security services.
Really liking it so far. Good mix of genres, starting from a standard fantasy world and instead of freezing it in time add societal and technomagical development. Also I find it pretty funny. Not everything translated yet sadly.

its on leftypol that I discovered Out Of Placers (apparently created by a furry artist, which explain the horniness)

Is this “third gender” just a quirky flavor of female hood or actual third gender?
Because most “gender non-conforming” folk are usually into female aesthetics.

>>7975
This is where things get thorny. In South Asian languages, there isn't really a word for "gender." There's no distinction between sex and gender which is important to keep in mind. Islamic law distinguishes between male, female, and "khuntha" based on genitalia. Khuntha isn't a monolith but an ambiguous umbrella term with a dozen different subtypes. Hijra are included in the khuntha category and local culture sees them as neither men nor women. Just as men and women have different social roles, responsibilities, and place in the pecking order. Khuntha have to follow their own 'gendered' rules e.g. khuntha's have their own funeral rituals, have to stand in between women's and men's rows during prayers, and have their own inheritance laws. Islamic theology traditionally saw khunthas as miraculous acts of God who are born the way they are. Because of this, hijra are often seen as having a divine favor. Despite this, they are quite badly discriminated against these days and their status in indigenous culture isn't always enshrined in post-colonial laws.

There's a NGO cottage industry to try to get them to identify as transgender. Overall, the hijra have declined because transgender is becoming more fashionable. Its seen as modern and civilized, while hijra are seen as backward failed transgenders.

tldr they are a third sex but whether they are non conforming depends on how you look at them. In conservative Islamic culture they aren't non-conforming.

All religion can fuck off. Substitute religion for national culture as was done in Albania. Convert all religious sites of worship into museums and cultural centres, if religoids continue to misuse these centres then they must be demolished. Being religious should be a thought crime, same as being a liberal or conservative. Public execution of religious figures.

I’ve been out (trans woman) for around a decade now and throughout most of those years I’ve had a generally bad taste in my mouth for gay men. the majority of the ones I’ve met through organizing have been useless, the ones I’ve met through ‘queer groups’ have been insufferable, a weird amount are landlords. They just seem like a completely soulless people the majority of the time. Almost a mimicry of a person.

I’d recommend reading eye of the chickenhawk if you ever have time to. Francis Sheldon owned North Fox island despite being significantly less well off financially than Maxwell and Epstein, and while he was backed by DuPont and General Motors he still managed to make it happen. Islands are relatively cheap for them. Also Epstein didn’t kidnap many kids. They were mainly siphoned off from foster hones, troubled kids camps, did sex work already, etc.

Buddhism is fucking predatory as shit, only saved by the fact that its buzzwords are parroted around. Seems like it was rightfully criticized since early Hinduism until the 1900s where it got syncretized because of opportunism. Really don't believe it's compatible with socialism, especially with it's buzzwords like "mindfullness" and "manifestation" becoming commonplace.

It's really just an older style of religion, mostly extinct, but similar could be seen in the Ancient Greek religion. There were not 12 static gods that were always worshipped, it varied by city. And teh hymns don't all go together or form a cohesive whole. But it's still a religion in as far as faith in things that you cannot see or hear.

Help me choose a girl name for myself. I have some ideas for a few names already but i don’t know if any of them are good or not.

>claire
it sounds very elegant and dainty, which I like. But I’m worried it might be too much of a stereotypical transgirl name like Alice.

>Vivian
I think it sounds unique and cool while also sounding a bit elegant aswell. But maybe it’s too weird. I also don’t want people to think I named myself after Vivian Medrano (creator of hazbin hotel)

>Jessica
More common and sounds nice, but not as classy as the others

>Stormy
I think it sounds very cute but I’m worried it sounds too much like a pet name

>Pamilla

sounds low-key clocky or like a stripper pseudonym

>naively scrolls down the page
<"Clitoria: Clitoria ternatea"
<"Cocks comb: Celosia cristata"
its like that TikTok meme of someone looking around and seeing overly sexual names of things and being shocked

Couldn't have said it better. Sounds like the name of a ghetto trans prostitute, unironically.

Well, you've already gotten pushback on feminizing your current name, which is what I would've done, so my only other idea is to ask your parents what they would've named you had you been a girl. I know mine picked Zoe(y?)

>worried Claire might be too much of a stereotypical transgirl name
>sees no problem with Vivian, literally one of the most well known transgirls in fiction
I think Claire is my personal favourite of the names you presented. Never really thought of it to be stereotypical.
